Chapter 118: Little Third Son

Here Sun Xian and the coachman are talking about car money, but Gu Chengyu's focus is on this young man.

The boy seems to be familiar with the coachman, but will the acquaintance come to dismantle the scene? Unless there is a feud, but the young man watched them negotiate the price at this time, but he stood aside and did not speak, and the two did not look like they had a grudge. Suddenly, Gu Chengyu smiled.

The young man saw that the old man was about to negotiate, and felt that the business was done, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Gu Chengyu looking at him with a smile. His heart sank, this is a discovery, right? It was also the first time he had done this, and he didn't expect to be discovered.

I knew that I shouldn't have done this, but he was really short of money, and his father's illness was so serious, if he didn't look at Lang Zhong again, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive.

"Senior Brother Sun, let's change the carriage!" Gu Chengyu interrupted the conversation between Sun Xian and the old man, there are so many carriages, maybe other people's houses are cheaper.

"Huh?" Originally, Sun Xian was soft-hearted and wanted to agree to the old man, but Gu Chengyu, who wanted to be silent all the time, disagreed.

The old man glanced at Gu Chengyu and felt that the matter was still exposed, and it was nothing if he didn't take this business, but he just took pity on this baby.

"Since Master Xiucai can see it, it is also appropriate not to take the old man's car. Just ask a few people to let this baby go, he is a poor man. As he spoke, in the confusion of Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu, he told the whole story.

It turned out that the young man's name was Xiao Sanzi, and he had a father and eldest sister at home. The third son is doing the work of guiding people at the dock, and when a foreigner comes and is not familiar with the capital, the third son will take the person to the destination. Although there is a coachman, some people have their own carriages, so they find a little third son like this, and give two coppers.

Of course, there are several on the dock like the little third son, all of whom are half-grown boys.

Xiao Sanzi's father has always been healthy, but when he carried goods on the dock half a month ago, he said that he had wet the goods and gave him a good beating. After that, because I didn't have any money, I only went to the hospital once, grabbed two pairs of medicines, and didn't go again. The third son also made this decision because his father didn't look very good in the past two days, as if he couldn't get through it.

"Please don't worry about the kid, I'll show you the way, and I won't charge money." As he spoke, Xiao Sanzi knelt down to Gu Chengyu and the others. He was afraid that Master Xiucai would say that he was a liar, so he would be sent to the government, and he couldn't escape after a beating, and his father didn't know if he could get through it.

"Yes, yes! I don't want any money, I'll send you to the inn! The old man also hurriedly interjected.

When Ye Zhiqiu heard these words, he felt that this little third son was really pitiful, he thought of his mother and sister, who were studying for him at home, and his mother and sister's eyes were almost blind.

"Get up!" Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward to help, this is a poor man!

"Get up!" Gu Chengyu saw that his background was so pitiful, and it was not easy to blame him.

"Hurry up! Forgive me, sir! The old man also happily stepped forward to help the little third son.

In the end, Gu Chengyu and the others still got on the old stubborn carriage, and the carriage left the dock and headed towards the street.

The capital is indeed much more prosperous than the capital city, with streets and alleys vertical and horizontal, the eaves facing each other, business travelers and restaurants. The street was shouting louder and louder, and even the vendors on both sides were full, plus the pedestrians in the middle, although the street was very wide, but the carriages passed here, it was still very crowded.

"Old man, this is the south, there are more small traders, let's pass through here, and then walk forward to walk on a stick of incense, and it will not be far from the Tribute Courtyard." Gu Chengyu heard the voice, teased the hand of the curtain, and looked to the side, it was the third son who spoke.

The carriage can fit just four people, and then put some luggage, and it is still a little crowded inside, and even Ming Yan is sitting on the wheel next to the old stubborn outside. is so crowded, he can't sit on the third son, Gu Chengyu asked the third child not to follow, but he didn't expect him to follow again.

Xiao Sanzi's face was already covered with beads of sweat, the speed of the carriage was fast just now, maybe Xiao San couldn't catch up, but at this time, the carriage slowed down because of crowding, so that Xiao Sanzi could catch up, and had time to introduce the situation on the street to Gu Chengyu.

"Didn't you stop following?" Gu Chengyu frowned, no wonder the shoes of the little third son were wasted like this, I am afraid that when he led the way, he also ran with the carriage like this.

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" What is it to run with a carriage in this business? The car of the noble man, how can these people get on? The old men were afraid that they would dirty the carriage.

Gu Chengyu looked at Xiao Sanzi's firm eyes and lowered the curtain. That's it! When the time comes, just give some money, and it can be regarded as helping the poor man. Life is not easy, everyone struggles to live for their own difficulties, and there are many situations like this, and he can help a little bit.

"Seiyu! But the boy followed? Ye Zhiqiu saw Gu Chengyu talking to the people outside the carriage, and thought that it must be the third son.

Gu Chengyu nodded and didn't say anything. Ye Zhiqiu looked a little lonely, probably because of the same situation, he felt that he and Xiaosan were in the same disease.

Gu Chengyu has always felt that Sun Xian is more open-minded in this regard, and Sun Xian's previous family background was not good, but he did not feel sorry for himself, but worked harder to live, which is what Gu Chengyu admires most about him. Ye Zhiqiu, on the contrary, is sentimental and often feels sorry for himself.

"A few, there is an inn in front, there are many inns inside, the little old man's carriage is not easy to enter, I will put a few at the intersection, you get off the car, just choose one." The old stubborn looked at the intersection in front of him and said to a few people in the back carriage.

"It's good! Then it's troublesome for the old man, so let's go here! Sun Xian replied and asked Ye Zhiqiu to pack their baggage and prepare to get out of the car.

Gu Chengyu got out of the carriage and turned around and gave the old stubborn forty wen, but the old stubborn refused to ask for it, and in the end Gu Chengyu forced it over, he didn't want to take advantage of others, forty wen should be enough.

As soon as the few people who got off the carriage got off the carriage, they stopped the dense shops in front of them, which was worthy of being under the roots of the imperial city, so prosperous that Ye Zhiqiu and their eyes didn't have time to roll.

Although Gu Chengyu had seen a lot in his previous life, he had never seen such a prosperous street in ancient times! Therefore, it is also full of interest.

"Gentlemen! Let me tell you about the inn! Xiao Sanzi also caught up at this time, he just stopped, took a breath, wiped the sweat of his head with his sleeve, and then said to Gu Chengyu and them.

"Tell me about it." Gu Chengyu was a little curious, what else did these inns pay attention to? Isn't it all the difference between big and small, expensive and inexpensive?

"When you go in here, the first few are smaller inns, and the house money is expensive, but during the autumn season, it must have risen a little; Go inside, the size of the inn is larger, the inn inside is not only comfortable, but also a restaurant; There is a famous inn in the capital at the very farthest end, which is the largest one here. ”

Xiao Sanzi pointed to the shop inside and introduced to Gu Chengyu and the others.
